Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 663 A Loan of 5000 Million! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Red Emperor's eyes lit up; it was like a pillow being delivered just when he was sleepy.

He looked at the two of them expectantly.

Xi Yuan calmly took a sip of hot tea, and then spoke:

"Your Blue Star civilization's beverage called tea is very good. It's bitter at first but then sweet, and the more you drink it, the more flavorful it becomes."

"interesting!"

Then he got down to business:

"Your Blue Star civilization has only been in contact with the universe for a short time, just a few years."

"Even with the development of the trial planet, we haven't made much money yet, not to mention we still need to pay off loans."

The Crimson Emperor nodded. Their Blue Star still owes the Deep Space Institute a staggering 97 billion Deep Space Coins.

Even if you make money, that's decades from now.

Manager Xiyuan continued:

"Your Blue Star civilization has the potential to become an advanced civilization, and now you even have nine galaxy-level geniuses who have entered the second round of the Ten Directions Blood Arena!"

“There are other geniuses as well, all with good potential.”

"They all have the potential to break into the top 10000."

"So after careful consideration, as your supervisor, I've decided to lend you a hand!"

The Crimson Emperor calmly took a sip of hot tea and asked, "How can you help us?"

Xi Yuan slowly spoke:

“I plan to provide you with an interest-free loan of several hundred million Deep Space Currencies.”

"All 50 contestants who advance to the second round have the right to apply."

"The amount of loan you can get varies depending on your talent."

Upon hearing this, the Red Emperor's eyes lit up, as if a glint of light flashed across them.

My brain started working quickly. Hundreds of millions of Deep Space Coins. Even if we split them equally, each person would have tens of millions of Deep Space Coins.

This is a huge sum of money.

That's enough to buy a large number of source energy crystals for cultivation.

For galaxy-level geniuses like Lynch, this is extremely important; this money is crucial.

He took a deep breath and said earnestly:

"Thank you both so much for your help. This money came at just the right time."

Xi Yuan laughed and said, "We also don't want to see geniuses like you have to wait a hundred years because of money."

"Next, let's continue discussing the loan amount for each person."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and then began a discussion with the two.

"Whoo~"

A moment later, the Crimson Emperor watched the two leave, a sigh of relief on his face, and a surge of excitement in his heart. With this money, Blue Star would be completely different.

Especially those at the galaxy level have the opportunity to cultivate to the peak of the Sky-Soaring Realm.

Lin Qi, Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, Jiang Tao, Jiang Miaoyin and other top geniuses, once they reach the peak of their cultivation...

That would give you the opportunity to join the supreme power.

Not only that, but he also got a share. Because he was at the second level of the universe, his loan amount was higher, reaching hundreds of millions.

He can also purchase more resources for cultivation.

"drop!"

Just as he was thinking, a screen suddenly popped up in front of him, and a message appeared in his eyes.

"This is...?" The Crimson Emperor frowned as he looked at the information.

……

A few seconds later, a tall figure appeared out of thin air.

A tall man appeared, radiating intense heat, with a flame mark between his brows.

He was strong and robust, dressed in a white robe, with sharp features and eyes like the sun, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

He is quite similar to the Red Emperor in temperament.

"Dean Yaochen, welcome."

The Crimson Emperor greeted him with a smile.

The visitor was none other than Yao Chen, the dean of the Lieyang Academy.

Looking around at the layout of the courtyard, he exclaimed, "Your architecture, centered on this person, has a special charm, containing the grandeur of heaven and earth."

"Very unique, is this your Earth civilization?"

“It’s truly extraordinary!”

The Crimson Emperor smiled upon hearing this and said:
"Dean Yaochen, what brings you to me?"

Dean Yaochen sat down opposite him, and as usual, the Crimson Emperor poured him a cup of hot tea.

Dean Yaochen said, "The main reason I'm here is to give you something good."

With a wave of his hand, a panel was projected in front of him, filled with a large amount of graphic and textual information.

The Crimson Emperor glanced at it, then frowned after a moment:
"These are the top powers and top geniuses from various star systems in the Blazing Sun Star Region?"

Dean Yaochen nodded and said, "That's right!"

"This is the most detailed and complete set of information collected by our Lieyang Civilization."

"In the second round of the Deep Space Genius Competition, having information on geniuses will be a great help to the contestants!"

The Crimson Emperor nodded. The information provided by the Flowing Blade Civilization was already the result of their best efforts to collect.

However, compared to the dominant civilization of the Blazing Sun, it still falls far short.

He expressed his gratitude, saying, "I can't thank you enough!"

Yao Chen waved his hand and said, "It's just a piece of information."

"Don't spread this information around. It's fine for the contestants from your Blue Star civilization to read themselves."

"You can describe the Flowing Blade Civilization to them verbally, but don't give them the complete information."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "I understand!"

Yao Chen nodded and said, "I hope that more talented people will be able to advance in the upcoming competitions."

"If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

The Crimson Emperor said, "You've already gone to so much trouble!"

He knew that their Blue Star already owed Dean Yao Chen a favor, and if they asked for help again, the favor they owed would be even greater.

This favor will be hard to repay in the future.

……

When the competition ended, it was already 9 p.m. The younger siblings went to bed, while Lin Qi invited Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin to have hot pot together to celebrate.

At midnight, Lin Qi returned to his bedroom.

"drop!"

Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw a notification that his money had been credited to his account – a reward from the Deep Space Genius Competition.

[Lin Qi, for your successful advancement in the second round of the Deep Space Genius Tournament, the Ten Directions Blood Arena, we are awarding you 500 million Deep Space Coins. We hope you will continue your efforts in the upcoming competitions!]

[Deep Space Coins +500 million!]

Lin Qi smiled when he saw the reward arrive in his account.

"This is indeed efficient. With 5 million Deep Space Coins, we can buy 500 Source Energy Crystals."

"500 million Deep Space Coins cannot all be used to buy Source Energy Crystals; they also need to be used to buy Soul Essence."

Looking at his account balance, Lin Qi began to think about how to spend it.

Four source energy crystals were not enough for him to condense a sixth source vein.

However, it was enough to greatly enhance his mental strength.

In the battle just now, he also encountered dozens of mentalists skilled in illusion.

However, they are generally too weak to pose a threat to one's mental strength.

However, there was also a mentalist, who was one of the eight survivors.

Lin Qi felt he was lucky; he hadn't run into the other person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be sure if he could last for two minutes.

With that in mind, he immediately opened the War House software.

I placed an order for four Source Energy Crystals and 10 bottles of Soul Essence with 50% purity.

【drop! 】

Payment successful!

[You have purchased 4 Source Energy Crystals and 10 50% Purity Soul Essences]

Due to the rarity of these resources, please proceed to the headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall...

Lin Qi nodded; the resources had been purchased.

We need to improve our strength first.

"drop!"

Suddenly his phone vibrated again. He looked and saw it was a message posted by the Red Emperor in a WeChat group.

[Red Emperor: Everyone, enter the Imperial Star Palace at 11:00 AM tomorrow. I have two important announcements to make...]

Lin Qi looked at the messages in the WeChat group. It was a small group containing only the 50 contestants who had advanced to the second round!

Lin Qi was also curious about what it was all about.

……

"boom!!"

The next day, a black Falcon fighter jet sped across the sky above Cang Province on its way to the capital.

Inside the spacious driver's cabin, Lynch, dressed in a black and gold robe, lay on the smart seat.

Turn on the virtual bracelet on your wrist. Log in to the virtual universe network.

Imperial Star Palace Conference Room.

"Buzz!"

On a huge black oval table, 50 seats were occupied, and one after another, powerful figures came online.

"Brother Qi!"

Lin Qi was the first to be added to the game, followed by Jiang Tao, Jiang Miaoyin, Sun Sheng, the God of War, the King of Mountains and Rivers, and others.

Jiang Tao, who was standing nearby, asked curiously:
"What could be so important that we all need to be online instead of just sending a notification?"

Lin Qi analyzed, "Time is precious now. The Crimson Emperor won't summon everyone unless there's something important."

"Just wait quietly!"

A moment later, the Crimson Emperor, dressed in white robes, appeared out of thin air. His eyes, as bright as the sun, swept over the crowd and he spoke:

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin our meeting!"

"Enough with the small talk, just two things."

"Buzz!"

After he finished speaking, the girl in red beside him projected a large screen displaying a large amount of text and image information. Everyone looked at the screen and quickly read through some of the information.

The black-robed God of War exclaimed in surprise:

"This is more detailed information about the players!"

The purple-clad overlord also spoke:

"This information is even more detailed than that of the Ryujin Civilization."

The Ice and Snow Earth spoke up: "It's not just detailed, I estimate it's even more detailed than that of the Triangle Clan!"

Lynch nodded as well, having immediately spotted Reynolds and Edith's information for his match.

It's incredibly detailed; it contains information on almost every genius.

"Red Emperor, how did you get this?"

The Crimson Emperor slowly began to introduce:

"This is Dean Yaochen of the Lieyang Academy, who has provided assistance to our Blue Star civilization."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"So it was Dean Yaochen. He's been a great help, increasing our chances of advancing as a Blue Star civilization."

"We owe them a favor this time."

Then the God of War asked, "Red Emperor, what is the second matter?"

Everyone looked over curiously.

The Crimson Emperor switched screens and spoke:

"Director Xiyuan of the Deep Space Institute is optimistic about our Blue Star civilization and is willing to provide us with a loan of several hundred million Deep Space Coins again."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

The entire conference room suddenly erupted in noise.

"A loan of hundreds of millions, or even just a few million Deep Space Coins, would be a huge sum for us."

Jiang Tao's eyes lit up; he and his sister Jiang Miaoyin both possessed extraordinary talent.

However, they lack not only time but also resources.

Now there is a second three-year period, but resources are scarce, and enough Deep Space Coins are needed to purchase Source Energy Crystals.

There are also Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing.

They have only condensed four source veins so far, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The others nodded in agreement; if they had another large sum of money now, all of them could improve their strength.

Lin Qi's heart started pounding; there was a loan!
This is great news for him.

The Crimson Emperor continued speaking:

"After discussions with the Deep Space Institute, the quota for each person is different."

"Martial artists who awaken two abilities have a 1000 million interest-free loan limit and will begin repaying the loan after the Deep Space Genius Tournament."

"A galaxy-level genius who awakens three abilities will have a loan limit of 5000 million without interest, and will also begin repaying the loan after the Deep Space Genius Competition."

"Everyone who comes to headquarters and signs a contract with me can get a loan."

These words caused the meeting room to erupt in excitement once again.

"A quota of 1000 million, that's quite a lot!"

"A galaxy-level genius actually has a quota of 5000 million deep space coins!"

Excitement was evident on everyone's face.

"Brother Qi, you've struck it rich!"

"With these 50 million Deep Space Coins, I'm confident that I can condense eight Source Veins within three years, and I'll have a chance to enter the Supreme Force!"

Jiang Tao was extremely excited; this money had come at the perfect time.

Lin Qi nodded. With this money, he was confident that he could condense eight or even nine source veins.

Once he reaches the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm, he will be considered one of the top geniuses on Lieyang Star, and he is confident that he can defeat them.

The Crimson Emperor said, "Meeting adjourned. I'll be waiting for you all in my office today!"

After saying that, he logged off, and the others also hurriedly logged off, preparing to head to the headquarters of the Crimson Sky Martial Arts Hall.

……

Red Sky Martial Arts Hall Headquarters
"boom!!"

A black Falcon fighter jet slowly descended onto the earth amidst a tremendous roar and fierce winds.

"Om!!"

The hatch opened, and Lin Qi, dressed in a black and gold robe, stepped out. He looked at the headquarters, took out his phone, and sent a message to the Crimson Emperor.

A moment later, in the curator's office.

Lin Qi and the tall Crimson Emperor sat facing each other, with Manager Yi Ming standing beside them. On the table was a contract document made of special materials.

There's a special pen next to it!
The Crimson Emperor smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive."

Lin Qi smiled and said, "I'm here to collect the source energy crystals I purchased."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "Sign this contract and you will immediately receive 5000 million Deep Space Coins!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qi picked up the specially made pen and signed his name on the front.

Next comes the electronic contract, until the signing is complete.

Upon seeing Lin Qi's golden name, the Crimson Emperor immediately picked up his phone and began to operate it.

The next instant, Lin Qi's phone vibrated. He took it out and his eyes lit up. The money had arrived in his account.

[You have made a transfer: 5000 million Deep Space Coins!]

Lynch's breathing quickened. 50 million Deep Space Coins were enough to buy 5000 Source Energy Crystals!

The Crimson Emperor laughed and said, "The money has been deposited into your account, you can now go shopping!"

"However, I don't recommend that you use all your money to buy source energy crystals. If your martial arts skills break through to the sixth level, then you will need enough money to buy new manuals."

"But now you can't buy it even if you want to."

Lin Qi asked in confusion, "Why?"

Supervisor Yi Ming, who was standing nearby, explained:

"Because there are not many source energy crystals left in the warehouse. Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to last for several months."

"But now everyone has loans and is buying energy crystals, so the amount in the warehouse is not enough for everyone to share."

The Crimson Emperor nodded and said, "The next batch of goods from the Flowing Blade Civilization will not arrive for another three months."

"Limit of 8 per purchase now!"

He then picked up the metal briefcase next to him, opened it, and inside were four source energy crystals and 10 bottles of 50% pure soul marrow.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Then I will buy four more source energy crystals, plus ten bottles of 50% soul essence."

After saying that, he placed an order on his phone and spent another 500 million Deep Space Coins!

A moment later, Yi Ming returned with a metal briefcase.

Lin Qi put them together and stored them in his spatial bracelet.

The Crimson Emperor patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and said:
"Spend the rest of your time cultivating diligently. In three years, the Ten Directions Blood Arena will enter its second round. At that time, let other civilizations witness your strength."

Lin Qi smiled immediately after hearing this and said:
"Don't worry, I will!"

After saying that, he took his leave. The Crimson Emperor watched Lin Qi's retreating figure and had a premonition that after the first round of the Ten Directions Blood Arena ended...

Lynch's abilities will be greatly enhanced.

It's probably not much worse than when I was at the peak of the Sky Soaring Realm.

……

At the main entrance of the Red Sky Martial Arts Hall.

Lynch saw two familiar faces.

"Lin Qi, you're even faster than me!"

Sun Sheng strode forward, punched Lin Qi in the chest, and laughed.

Li Tianxing came over next to him.

Li Tianxing asked, "Lin Qi, have you signed the contract?"

Lin Qi nodded and smiled, "That's right, I've already received the money!"

"I forgot to tell you, there aren't many source energy crystals left in the warehouse. The next batch of resources will have to wait for three months."

Sun Sheng's eyes widened as he said, "Then I'll have to buy more Source Energy Crystals!"

"I've never fought such a lucrative battle before, a full 5000 million Deep Space Coins!"

"It would allow me to purchase 50 source energy crystals, enough to condense 8 source veins."

Li Tianxing shook his head and said, "If you buy source energy crystals, what will you do with your mental energy?"

"With your current mental strength, you wouldn't be able to withstand even one move from an illusionist among mentalists."

This time, Sun Sheng did not refute, but said, "My mental strength is indeed a little low."

Lin Qi patted the two on the shoulders and said, "Keep it up. I also hope that more people from our Blue Star can enter the third round of selection."

Sun Sheng and Li Tianxing nodded. They now had money and time, and were just waiting to develop.

……

An hour later, Lin Qi returned to Tianhai City.

"Xiaotian, you've gotten even stronger!"

In the living room, Lin Qi stroked Xiaotian's soft fur. Xiaotian was getting bigger and bigger, but he could use his talent to control his size to be like a large golden retriever.

This way I can play with Lin Xiao and Lin Zhaoyue, the two children.

"Buzz!"

Lin Qi activated his Golden Eyes and could see Xiao Tian growing stronger day by day; that was the power of his bloodline.

The two forces, the Law of Metal and the Law of Space, also began to manifest.

That's its talent; it can grow simply by eating, a talent that countless races envy.

Lin Qi felt the power of the Law of Metal, and the power of the law was released through his bloodline into Xiaotian's body.

If Xiaotian could possess the strength of a level nine calamity beast, the power of law within him would become even more pronounced.

He could also comprehend the Law of Metal by sensing Xiaotian's power.

This is recorded in "The Devouring Beast's Notes," which states that the master of a Devouring Beast can comprehend the laws by observing the secret patterns on its body.

The stronger the Star Devourer, the stronger the effect.

He was really looking forward to this day.

After playing with the Star-Devouring Beast Xiaotian for a while, Lin Qi returned to the martial arts room to begin his training for the day.

"Buzz!"

The metal briefcase was opened, revealing 8 source energy crystals and 20 bottles of 50% pure soul essence.

And he still has 4500 million Deep Space Coins in his account!

Lynch had to admit that he had never fought such a rich battle before.
